This Old Guitar (Live) [04/14/76 BBC Concert, Talk of the Town, London, Britain] Songtext
von John Denver

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
Showed me how to laugh and how to cry
It introduced me to some friends of mine and brightened up some days
And helped me make it through some lonely nights, oh
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night


This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
It opened up her eyes and ears to me
It brought us close together, and I guess it broke her heart
It opened up the space for us to be
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be

This old guitar gave me my life my living
All the things you know I love to do
To serenade the stars that shine from a sunny mountainside
And most of all, to sing my songs for you

I love to sing my songs for you
Yes I do, you know
I love to sing my songs for you
